Planning history

Applications and permits filed against 8 Bennion Road, Bushby, Leicester, LE7 9QF, sourced from the PlanIt planning register.

A tree works application was refused at 8 Bennion Road in 2024.

  1. Nov 2024
    Tree WorksTrees
    In report

    2 x lime trees (T1 and T2). Proposal to fell and replant. Trees have become too large (~50m) for the area in which they sit. Trees provide significant shading to surrounding properties. In addition leaf litter blocks surface drains and causes flooding to properties. Replanted trees would be in the same location as existing trees.
